In this talk, which is based on joint work with Gregory Scontras (UC Irvine), I present a reasoning-based analysis of the projection of the content of the clausal complement of \"know\". Our model, formulated within the Bayesian Rational Speech Act framework (Frank and Goodman, 2012), derives projection from lexical entailments of \"know\" and sensitivity to the Question Under Discussion (QUD; as do Abrusán, 2011, and Simons, Beaver, Roberts, and Tonhauser, 2017), as well as reasoning about utterance informativity relative to private speaker assumptions (Qing, Goodman, and Lassiter, 2016; Warstadt, 2022). Crucially, our model predicts projection for \"know\" without encoding the inference as a lexically-specified constraint on the Common Ground (e.g., Heim 1983; van der Sandt 1992). The talk shows that the model makes better empirical predictions than other contemporary analyses of presuppositions by correctly deriving that projection is sensitive to the Question Under Discussion and to interpreters' prior beliefs.","speakers":[{"guid":"f2981d49-a28a-5cfd-8d2f-f59ee6eb81c8","id":1216,"image":null,"name":"Judith Tonhauser","public_name":"Judith Tonhauser","email":"judith.tonhauser@ifla.uni-stuttgart.de","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-13T10:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-13T12:15:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M18.11","id":182}},{"id":1419,"guid":"2810ea41-7767-410f-b12d-975d72e2710e","title":"Benefits and challenges of international research collaboration","language":"en","subtitle":"A case study of Highland Bolivia","description":"Thanks to the rise of globalization, cross-cultural scientific collaboration has never been easier and therefore more common (Mannan and Maruf 2025). As linguists, this allows us to collect larger and more diverse language samples (Blasi et al. 2022; Henrich et al. 2010), increase the reliability of our data by having it verified by local experts (Bowern 2015; Czaykowska-Higgins 2009), benefit from bringing together different specializations which may be unique to each working culture (Czaykowska-Higgins 2009; Dusdal and Powell 2021), and share our research with larger international audiences. \r\nHowever, while collaborations within WEIRD countries may seem relatively straightforward, collaboration between non-WEIRD and WEIRD countries can lead to a number of (unexpected) issues, such as communication issues between researchers due to linguistic differences (Bagshaw et al. 2007) and differences in working cultures (Ndzenyuiy and Keller 2025), health issues due to environmental factors, such as food, differences in work-life balance, and/or culture shock (Bowern 2015), scepticism within non-Western countries due to colonial history and prior unethical behaviour among Western researchers (Irvine 2008; Leonard 2018), and incompatibility of research frameworks designed with WEIRD populations in mind (Abbi 2001; Speed et al. 2018).\r\nHowever, it would be unwise to make more concrete generalized claims about collaboration between just any WEIRD and non-WEIRD country, as the specifics vary greatly from culture to culture. In this talk, I will therefore provide some examples for the challenges of cross-cultural collaboration drawn from my own recent fieldwork experience in Bolivia, South America, where I collaborated with Bolivian researchers who were raised in indigenous communities and where we collected data with indigenous Quechua-speaking participants. This examples include a higher focus on qualitative rather than quantitative approaches, a less strict divide between work and leisure, conflicts milder local data protection laws and the GDPR, as well as suspicion towards white researchers due to a history of Spanish colonialism and multiple accounts of political interference from the United States.\r\n\r\nReferences:\r\nAbbi, A. 2001.

The MEL is typically understood as a sequence of temporally bounded, thematically central, and realis events that correspond to the canonical progression of a narrative plot (Labov \u0026 Waletzky, 1967; Hopper, 1979; Payne, 1992). In many languages, the MEL is encoded through verbal morphology, particularly through aspectual categories such as the perfective, or mood distinctions\r\nlike the realis/irrealis divide. However, this study focuses on two indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest—Miluk and Alsea—which diverge significantly from this crosslinguistic norm. In both languages, clause-initial discourse markers, rather than verbal morphology, serve as the primary cues for identifying MEL clauses, despite extremely rich and complex TAM morphology inventories and systems. This study and its findings extend beyond just the description and analysis of these languages, but push for typological reconsideration and investigation of narrative discourse in TAM systems across the world. It challenges traditional convential models of MEL encoding, and posits that these examples here must not be looked at as outliers or exceptions, but rather as windows into a more broad and more encompassing perspective on narrrative discourse as a whole.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Typologie und Varietätenlinguistik","abstract":"(Abstract is attached as LaTeX file below)","speakers":[{"guid":"22d7a652-ab31-5581-8dc3-1db82d7e1bfb","id":1188,"image":null,"name":"Callum Burgess","public_name":"Callum Burgess","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-13T16:30:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-13T17:00:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.25","id":191}},{"id":1448,"guid":"5e31fd88-c616-4e77-adf1-34e330af1751","title":"Closing Plenary","language":"en","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":2700,"time_slots":3,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":null,"abstract":null,"speakers":[],"start_time":"2025-11-15T17:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-15T18:30:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.01","id":185}},{"id":1414,"guid":"75ba6da8-2579-4ae8-a67a-94690a46a9d9","title":"Das \u003ck\u003e das kein /k/ war","language":"de","subtitle":"Zum Lautwert des Graphems 𐊋 im Lykischen","description":"Das Lykische ist eine anatolische Sprache, die in der zweiten Hälfte des ersten Jhds. v.

Anders als die bronzezeitlichen Vertreter dieses Zweiges wie Hethitisch und Luwisch, die in Keilschrift und Hieroglyphen geschrieben wurden, ist das Lykische in einer Alphabetschrift überliefert, die leicht zu entziffern ist.\r\n\r\nAls Lykien Teil des Achämenidenreiches wurde, wurde Griechisch dort als Verwaltungssprache eingeführt. Es sind (relativ) zahlreiche lykisch-griechische Bilinguen überliefert. Lykische Eigennamen, die in diesen Inschriften vorkommen, erscheinen dort auch in einer griechischen Übertragung, die deren Klang wiedergibt, wie ihn die Griechen wahrnahmen. Andererseits sind auch griechische Eigennamen in lykischer Übertragung belegt. Weil wir die Phonologie und Phonetik des zeitgenössischen Griechischen sehr gut rekonstruieren können, liefern uns diese Namen brauchbare Evidenz für die Phonologie des Lykischen.\r\n\r\nViele lykische Grapheme sehen wie griechische Buchstaben aus und hatten offenbar auch einen ähnlichen Lautwert.

Und ein einziges Mal noch ein Delta obendrein.\r\n\r\nIn diesem Vortrag werde ich die (zugegeben unkontroverse) These verteidigen, dass das lykische k einen palatalen Plosiv wiedergibt.

This is peculiar, since the sentence is clearly marked for the future tense, and should thus be expected only to make claims about future eventualities. Similarly, the past sentence ‘She never saw the Taj Mahal.’ entails that the subject will never see the Taj Mahal after the utterance time, either. This phenomenon, originally observed by my PhD supervisor Daniel Büring, is what we call the Full Frame Effect: Some tenses become semantically vacuous in the scope of universal temporal quantifiers like ‘always’ and ‘never’. \r\nIn my talk, I will introduce our analysis of the Full Frame Effect, based on the conception of tense as pronominal and presuppositional (going back to Partee 1973).

Learner Corpus Research (LCR) has established that more proficient learners use more sophisticated and a wider range of collocations and recurrent word combinations (Bestgen \u0026 Granger, 2018; Paquot, 2019). This highlights the role of phraseological complexity, typically defined in terms of both range (diversity) and sophistication (Paquot, 2019). A learner’s text is considered more complex when it contains a higher proportion of sophisticated and varied phraseological units rather than frequent repetitions of common word combinations (Paquot, 2019).\r\n\r\nThis study focuses on the construct of Phraseological Sophistication, which has been theorised to be measured with three dimensions: register specificity, association strength, and frequency (Paquot \u0026 Naets, 2025). Collocations that are register-specific, strongly associated, and relatively infrequent are assumed to be more sophisticated. While previous work has suggested that this construct predicts learner proficiency (Paquot, 2018; Paquot, 2019; Vandeweerd et al., 2021; Jiang et al., 2021; Paquot et al., 2022), it is unclear whether human judgments align with this theoretical construct.\r\n\r\nTo address this gap, we are conducting a validation study in which 30 expert judges will evaluate 120 verb–object collocations using a comparative judgment task (Thwaites \u0026 Paquot, 2024). Comparative judgment is a novel approach that has proven useful for evaluating complex linguistic constructs (Crossley et al., 2023; Zhang \u0026 Lu, 2024). The study design will enable us to investigate (1) the extent to which L1 English speakers share intuitions about phraseological sophistication, and (2) the influence of register specificity, association strength, and frequency on those intuitions. This poster will present the study design, explain the methodological innovations, and outline expected contributions for assessing Phraseological Sophistication in learner language.\r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"c93cc8fb-14c5-5f39-8751-2ab993842cac","id":1183,"image":null,"name":"Gabriela Vaughan","public_name":"Gabriela Vaughan","email":"gabriela.vaughan@uclouvain.be","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T17:00:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T17:15:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.23","id":190}},{"id":1412,"guid":"99dbe922-cb85-47ec-a8a2-874c90e6fe25","title":"Einfluss von Geschlecht und Hormonen auf die VOT deutscher Plosive","language":"de","subtitle":null,"description":"Geschlechterunterschiede in gesprochener Sprache werden häufig untersucht, auch anhand einzelner Phänomene.

The central research questions which motivated this study were whether and to what extent L2 influence is noticed by the speakers and if the instances of L2 influences can be taken as evidence for possible L1 attrition. \r\nFindings showed that while grammatical structures and pronunciation in the L1 remain largely stable, lexical and sociopragmatic domains are more easily affected by L2 influence. Speakers living in an L1 environment often perceived more L2 influence, likely due to a high L2 usage in daily life. The sociolinguistic environment emerged as a significant factor in shaping language behaviour and identity, with several participants reporting a shift in cultural connection and communicative preferences. However, despite reported L2 influence, most speakers rated their L2 proficiency as stable, which suggests that L1 attrition does not appear to be present here.\r\nA contextualization of the findings shows that not all instances of L2 influence should be readily interpreted as evidence of L1 attrition, nor is all L2 influence necessarily negative. Existing research suggests (see Pavlenko, 2004) that multilinguals benefit from having access to a broader range of linguistic resources. Thus, crosslinguistic influence may be viewed as an enrichment of one’s linguistic repertoire.

The aim of this survey was to explore and compare how the urban population of the city of Cochabamba (primarily monolingual Spanish speakers) and the rural population from different towns throughout the Cochabamba region (primarily bilingual Quechua and Spanish speakers, some monolingual Quechua) talk about and express the concept of pain. To do so, I have employed a mixed-methods study design, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, to gain a more holistic viewpoint of the phenomenon (Fielding 2012).\r\nFor the qualitative part I have conducted interviews with 12 monolingual and bilingual Bolivian health professionals and 7 native Quechua speakers living in rural Cochabamba about how they view in the concept of pain in their respective cultures and whether they noticed any difference between the two.\r\nFor the quantitative part (based on Borelli et al. 2018; Incayawar and Saucier 2015) I conducted a psycholinguistic survey with 17 bilingual and monolingual Quechua speakers living in rural Cochabamba to affective word ratings on a selection of 30 Quechua words indirectly or directly related to pain. For the Spanish data, I plan to conduct an online survey.\r\nFor all the parts involving native Quechua speakers I have collaborated with two linguists from the San Simon University of Cochabamba who are both native speakers of Quechua.\r\nIn this talk, I will focus mostly on the study design and data collection procedure.

Most research on heritage language acquisition has concentrated on national languages in diaspora contexts (e.g., Spanish in the US, Turkish in Germany; Fridman \u0026 Özsoy, 2024). In contrast, this study centers on a lesser-studied and/or marginalized heritage language: Zazaki, which is marked by restricted domains of use, lack of standardization, and the absence of institutional recognition in both their homelands and diasporic contexts.\r\n\tShabtaev et al. (2024) show that different diasporic contexts can meaningfully influence heritage language maintenance and that culture-specific vocabulary tends to be more resilient than neutral or basic vocabulary. Beyond the domain-specific cognitive capacity of language, we also examine the relationship between heritage language maintenance and the domain-general capacity of inhibitory control. Shan (2024) is the first to assess inhibitory control in heritage speakers using the Stroop task, revealing correlations between cognitive control and heritage language experience.\r\n\tSet in the context of lesser-studied heritage language communities, our research addresses the overarching question: To what extent does heritage language maintenance differ among heritage speakers with distinct sociocultural backgrounds and across generations? We then explore three sub-questions:\r\n(1) How does knowledge of culturally salient vocabulary differ between rural and urban speakers? (2) How do background variables, such as education, residence, and cultural identification, relate to vocabulary knowledge? (3) How do identification with the heritage language and background variables modulate inhibitory control?\r\n\tTo address our research questions, we developed a web-based experiment using PCIbex (Zehr \u0026 Schwarz, 2018). Participants (speakers of Zazaki as a heritage language) completed three tasks: a vocabulary translation task with heritage language vocabulary, a Stroop task (in the dominant language: German or Turkish), and an adapted version of the HeLEx questionnaire (Tomić et al., 2023). The vocabulary task, based on Shabtaev (2024), examined how region and exposure context (e.g., family vs. school) affect lexical knowledge. A key aim was to investigate the retention of basic and culturally salient vocabulary despite reduced input and limited community support. The Stroop task was included to examine potential relationships between inhibitory control and heritage language maintenance. Our study takes an exploratory approach, analyzing how education, residence, and heritage language identification contribute to individual differences in inhibitory control.\r\n\tWe apply Bayesian binomial generalized linear mixed-effects models, with vocabulary translation accuracy and Stroop task scores as dependent variables. Independent variables include Age, Place of residence, Education, Exposure, Identification, Self-rated proficiency, Country, and Language. Participant and Item are included as varying effects.\r\n\tWe anticipate finding divergent trajectories of transmission: Some languages will exhibit signs of intergenerational disruption, with younger speakers showing mainly passive understanding, while others may show more robust retention in specific diasporic or familial contexts. We expect higher retention rates for culturally salient vocabulary across all groups.\r\n\tUltimately, our study highlights the multifaceted nature of heritage language maintenance, where social networks, ideologies, identities, and background variables all contribute to transmission outcomes. The absence of official status does not inherently lead to language loss, but it alters the pathways through which these languages are learned and used. The observed vocabulary trends are likely to reflect deeper morphosyntactic developments. By centering lesser-studied languages, this study contributes to a more inclusive perspective on heritage language research and emphasizes the urgency of supporting linguistic diversity beyond dominant, state-supported languages.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Neuro- und Psycholinguistik","abstract":"This study examines heritage language transmission with a focus on Zazaki, a marginalized language lacking institutional recognition and standardization.

As there was limited research in this particular area, the function of the discourse marker was initially unclear.

The data was then analyzed using a substitution method, which involved replacing ‘ass’ with other, more well-documented intensifiers. If the pragmatic meaning remained intact, the function was considered to be intensifying. If the pragmatic meaning was deviant, attempts were made to find other pragmatic particles that did not alter the meaning of the utterance.  \r\n\r\nWhat I found was that in addition to the intensifying function, the discourse marker ‘ass’ could also function mitigating in several distinct respects. For example, the discourse marker was often used in face-threatening speech-acts, such as rejection, both in regard to the positive and negative face. The thesis also argues that the discourse marker can express regret, and that this function must be regarded as distinct from the mitigating one.

Putting it simply, Clitics are small (you might say cute) and unaccented morphemes that usually follow some placement rule; but they are not affixes, so they are not fixed to specific word forms. Over time, they can evolve into full words or into affixes. Potentially, something like this is going on in Polish right now. Polish used to have a strict Wackernagel Law, but the Law stopped being strict at some time in the 18th century, with no obvious new rule to replace it. Some clitics seem to tend towards the position close to the verb nowadays, but not all of them and not in all cases.

It provided a lens through which deep domestic ideological divisions became visible. Turkish media outlets, long polarized between pro-government and opposition lines, approached the U.S. election not simply as foreign news but as an opportunity to reinforce their own narratives about leadership, democracy, and national identity.\r\nIn this project, I examined the coverage of the election in four widely read newspapers—Sabah, Anadolu Ajansı, Cumhuriyet, and Sözcü—representing conservative and progressive perspectives. The choice of these outlets was deliberate: they are central actors in shaping political discourse and reflect the polarization of the Turkish public sphere. The study focused on the immediate post-election period, when editorial choices are especially telling, and asked how the victory of Donald Trump was interpreted through different ideological filters.\r\nThe analysis relied on a combination of computational and interpretive methods. Using Voyant Tools, I created word clouds, frequency counts, and collocation maps to uncover which terms dominated and how they were associated. These quantitative findings were then read critically through discourse analysis, allowing me to capture the narrative strategies behind the numbers. For example, while right-wing outlets frequently associated Trump with “stability,” “victory,” and “American values,” left-wing outlets paired his name with “division,” “populism,” and “uncertainty.” Beyond vocabulary, the structure of headlines, the use of statistics, and the presence or absence of rival political figures provided insight into the framing techniques at play.\r\nThis approach highlighted contrasts that might otherwise remain hidden. Right-leaning coverage presented Trump as a mirror for Turkey’s own strong-leadership narrative, often downplaying mention of Democratic candidates. Left-leaning media, however, contextualized Trump’s win within broader trends of populism and democratic erosion, drawing attention to the risks for global governance. Such findings underline the extent to which Turkish media uses international events as a proxy for domestic ideological battles.\r\nThe project contributes not only to studies of Turkish media but also to broader debates on how global events are reinterpreted at the national level. It demonstrates the value of combining digital text analysis with critical discourse interpretation, producing results that are both systematic and context-sensitive. At the same time, it acknowledges limitations: the focus on newspapers excludes television, digital-native platforms, and social media, which play a growing role in shaping perceptions.\r\nFuture research could expand the dataset to include these outlets and investigate how audiences receive and reinterpret such framing. Exploring reception would add a sociolinguistic dimension, clarifying whether the polarized framings found in print are mirrored in everyday political discussions. Overall, this study suggests that Turkish media’s portrayal of the U.S. elections is less about the United States itself and more about Türkiye’s own ideological struggles—a pattern that illustrates the complex entanglement of global politics and national media discourses.\r\n","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":"/system/events/logos/000/001/431/original/20251001_2250_G%C3%B6lge_Ba%C5%9Fkanlar_ve_Kanatlar_remix_01k6grhqgvfkwa8wh5n368r8xs.png?1759352375","type":"workshop","do_not_record":false,"track":"Soziolinguistik","abstract":"This study explores how Turkish right- and left-wing media framed the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, employing Second-Level Agenda-Setting and Framing theories. My contribution to this project centered on designing the research framework, collecting and organizing the data, and conducting both corpus-based and discourse-oriented analysis. To capture ideological differences, I selected four influential Turkish newspapers: Sabah and Anadolu Ajansı, representing the right-wing perspective, and Cumhuriyet and Sözcü, representing the left-wing. From these sources, I compiled 97 articles published around the election period and processed them using Voyant Tools to conduct word frequency, collocation, and context analyses. This methodological approach enabled the identification of key terms and attributes associated with Donald Trump and the election process, providing a systematic basis for comparing ideological framing strategies.\r\nThe findings reveal that right-wing media consistently emphasized Trump’s leadership, electoral victories, and alignment with conservative American values, presenting him as a strong and stabilizing figure. In contrast, left-wing media highlighted themes of populism, societal division, and democratic erosion, portraying Trump’s victory as a sign of risk rather than stability. By linking these findings to Turkey’s domestic political climate, I demonstrated how international events are reinterpreted through national ideological lenses.\r\nMy contribution lies in integrating digital text analysis with critical discourse interpretation to reveal the interplay between media bias, political ideology, and global events. In addition, I designed the comparative framework that allowed a clear contrast between conservative and progressive narratives. I also interpreted the implications of word associations, linking them back to theoretical models of agenda-setting and framing. Another key contribution was situating the results within broader debates on media polarization in Türkiye, which added depth to the discussion. I ensured the methodology combined quantitative corpus findings with qualitative interpretations, enhancing the study’s reliability. Moreover, I emphasized how the Turkish case reflects a global pattern where domestic politics shape media portrayals of international events. Finally, I contributed to the conclusion by highlighting the need for future studies to include social media and audience reception to expand the scope of analysis.\r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"ea2e8002-6a51-5735-a799-afa070cfdf18","id":1201,"image":"/system/people/avatars/000/001/201/original/WhatsApp_Image_2025-10-01_at_17.50.18.jpeg?1759337672","name":"merve","public_name":"merve","email":"esra.sari@uni-konstanz.de","abstract":"Hello!

Social priming describes how activating social expectations shapes judgments of intelligibility, accentedness, and competence. The present study investigated social priming in foreign-accent perception by examining whether viewing a South-East Asian versus a Caucasian face affects accentedness ratings of Cantonese-accented and native German. In addition, it explored how listeners’ attitudes toward accents, migration, and open-mindedness contributed to these judgments, and whether reaction times reveal processing differences when social expectations are matched or mismatched.\r\n\r\nSixty-five monolingually raised German L1 speakers (aged 45–69) completed an accentedness rating task. Participants were primed with either a South-East Asian or Caucasian face, followed by Cantonese-accented or native German speech. They also filled in a questionnaire assessing attitudes towards accents and migration, and their open-mindedness. Results showed that speech was rated as more foreign-accented when paired with a South-East Asian face compared to a Caucasian face, regardless of whether the speech was Cantonese-accented or native German. No such effect was observed when the speech originated from monolingual German L1 speakers. Social priming effects were further modulated by listeners’ attitudes: Participants who believed that accent strength and type are predictive of a person’s character and who held more negative views of accents gave higher foreign-accent ratings overall. In contrast, attitudes towards migration did not affect accent ratings. Reaction time analyses revealed slower responses when face and audio were mismatched compared to when no face was shown. Across all conditions, Cantonese-accented speech elicited slower reaction times than native German speech. These findings indicate that visual social information in the form of faces influences how listeners perceive accentedness, supporting bias-based and raciolinguistic accounts of speech perception rather than exemplar-based models that predict facilitation from matched expectations. The study highlights the role of listeners' social biases in shaping judgments of non-native speech, with broader implications for understanding the realities of non-native speakers.\r\n\r\nKeywords: Social priming, foreign accent perception, Cantonese accent, German, listener attitudes\r\n\r\n \r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"46ac18cf-3c14-52e1-8d5b-206499385399","id":1199,"image":null,"name":"Michelle Vuong","public_name":"Michelle Vuong","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-13T16:30:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-13T17:00:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.11","id":195}},{"id":1433,"guid":"21b06792-401b-426b-a21d-543d4864a370","title":"Sociolinguistic aspects of the census, or how “objective” linguistic data is created","language":"en","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Soziolinguistik","abstract":"The census is one of common ways how to get information about the number of speakers of different languages, which should lead to more targeted policy measures protecting the language communities. \r\n\r\nHowever, in countries where the census is conducted by self-completion by respondents, questions arise regarding self-definition by respondents and the determination of their language.

While many languages mark these categories morphologically on verbs, others do so through syntactic means, such as complementizer choice (see, e.g., Portner (2018)). This paper is originally a bachelor's thesis investigating the Latvian complementizer lai, which occurs primarily in directive and desiderative embedded clauses. These lai-clauses typically express non-assertive future-oriented events and resist factual interpretation:\r\n\r\n\r\nViņš         grib,                 lai  palīdzu.\r\nhe.NOM   want.3.PRES  lai  help.1.SG.PRES\r\n‘He wants me to help him.’\r\n\r\nLai can be contrasted with the more common complementizer ka used for factual, declarative statements: \r\n\r\nViņš          zina,                ka    palīdzu.\r\nhe.NOM   know.3.PRES  that  help.1.SG.PRES\r\n‘He knows that I am helping.’\r\n\r\nAlthough lai has received some descriptive attention in research (see, e.g., Holvoet (2016, 2020); Holvoet et al. (2021); Kalnača (2011); Kalnača and Lokmane (2021)), its precise syntactic status and semantic contribution in complement clauses remain largely underexplored. I aim to fill that gap by analyzing lai as a marker of subjunctive mood in Latvian. The subjunctive mood is traditionally understood as a non-indicative grammatical category used to express wishes, obligations or attitudes towards non-factual events. It is often realized as a specific morphological form on the verb, however, some languages also have dedicated subjunctive complementizers (Portner, 2018; Quer, 2017). \r\nThe thesis is guided by the following research questions: What are the syntactic and semantic properties of lai clauses in Latvian? How do these properties relate to mood-marking strategies in Romance and Balkan languages? The main goals of this thesis are (a) to provide a comprehensive overview of the syntactic properties lai exhibits and (b) to explore the hypothesis that lai encodes a distinct modal meaning comparable to the subjunctive systems found in Romance and Balkan languages. Methodologically, the thesis relies on my own introspective judgments as a native Latvian speaker.\r\n\r\nA crucial contribution of this thesis is the recognition of lai as a proper complementizer by looking at certain syntactic diagnostics, including obligatoriness, linear order, complementizer distribution and wh-extraction in order to determine its syntactic status. For instance, in the case of lai emission, the sentence in (4) obtains an indicative reading it would have if the complementizer ka was present, thus suggesting that the modal meaning in such instances is encoded in the complementizer lai:\r\n\r\n\r\nAnna                     teica,         lai   viņi                  iet               mājās.\r\nAnna.SG.NOM.F  say.3.PST  lai   they.NOM.M   go.3.PRES  home.LOC\r\n‘Anna said that they should go home.’\r\n\r\nAnna                     teica          -   viņi                 iet                mājās.\r\nAnna.SG.NOM.F  say.3.PST  -  they.NOM.M   go.3.PRES  home.LOC\r\n‘Anna said - they are going home.’\r\n\r\nAdditionally, restrictions regarding tense and subject coreference are considered and described. This work is also the first to treat lai as a subjunctive complementizer in Latvian. While earlier studies (e.g., Holvoet (2016, 2020); Holvoet et al. (2021); Kalnača (2011); Kalnača and Lokmane (2021)) have described it as a marker of irrealis or state-of-affairs complements, no previous account has provided a comprehensive syntactic and semantic characterization of lai.\r\n\r\nThe thesis is structured as follows. Chapter 2 provides a brief overview of the Latvian language, focusing on relevant grammatical features and its complementation system. Chapter 3 presents a diachronic and syntactic overview of lai, including its functions in Modern Latvian, core properties and distribution across predicate classes. Building on both existing approaches to Latvian lai as well as cross-linguistic literature on mood, modality and subjunctives, Chapter 4 is an attempt at a preliminary semantic analysis, proposing that lai contributes modal meaning in both embedded and matrix contexts. Chapter 5 briefly situates Latvian lai in a cross-linguistic perspective, comparing its behavior to subjunctive systems in Romance and Balkan languages. Finally, Chapter 6 concludes this thesis by summarizing the findings and proposing directions for future research.\r\n\r\nThroughout this thesis, I propose to analyze lai as a subjunctive marker, as it exhibits properties typical of subjunctive mood across languages. Based on syntactic and semantic diagnostics, I argue that lai contributes its own meaning and does not merely reflect the semantics of matrix predicates it co-occurs with. This thesis challenges existing accounts by showing that lai is not simply a syntactic subordinator, but a semantic operator with consistent modal effects. The findings contribute to the typology of mood and clause embedding, while laying the fundament for future research on mood and modality in complement clauses in Latvian.\r\n\r\nReferences\r\nHolvoet, A.

This present study provides a theoretical account of \"lai\" in subordinate clauses selected by volitional, directive and some emotive predicates, such as \"gribēt\" (to want), \"lūgt\" (to ask), \"cerēt\" (to hope) and \"uztraukties\" (to worry). These \"lai\" clauses typically express non-assertive future-oriented events and resist factual interpretation. \r\nI propose to analyze \"lai\" as a subjunctive marker, as it exhibits properties typical of subjunctive mood across languages. Based on syntactic and semantic diagnostics, I argue that \"lai\" contributes its own meaning and does not merely reflect the semantics of matrix predicates it co-occurs with. This thesis challenges existing accounts by showing that \"lai\" is not simply a syntactic subordinator, but a semantic operator with consistent modal effects. The findings contribute to the typology of mood and clause embedding, while laying the fundament for future research on mood and modality in complement clauses in Latvian.","speakers":[{"guid":"3cf3fb11-e4cc-5d46-8920-49a94a4ab930","id":1189,"image":null,"name":"Enija","public_name":"Enija","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T14:45:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T15:15:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M2.41","id":194}},{"id":1445,"guid":"ac688cea-158c-4407-9f23-25a4cc933675","title":"Syntax and semantics of the swarm alternation","language":"en","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":5400,"time_slots":6,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Keynote","abstract":"In this talk, we develop the first explicit analysis of the syntax and semantics of the “swarm” alternation's non-base alternant as in “The garden is swarming with bees” (as opposed to “Bees are swarming in the garden”).

Guided by Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), ten posts and subsequent captions published by the account under the rubric titled “#debunk” will be investigated for their verbal and non-verbal elements, alongside discursive strategies utilized to convey a message of raising awareness on feminism and gender inequality. Each of these posts was chosen for having representative, multimodal qualities which fit the sample with text, image, and design. \r\n\r\nThe talk will elaborate on linguistic and discursive aspects of the posts, alongside visual aids (i.e., design, emojis, etc.) in the context of Serbian gendered social practices and the specific Instagram environment, hand in hand with the commentary on mechanisms through which the posts’ narrative supports shaping Serbian public discourse about feminism, patriarchy, and gender roles on social media. Moreover, the talk will review the implications of the findings, not only in terms of regional discourse studies, but worldwide, shifting the focus onto an under-researched patriarchal context and trending problems of today’s Serbian feminist movement. \r\n\r\nFinally, the talk will provide suggestions for further research of the discourse of digital feminism.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Soziolinguistik","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"ab1c33f9-45b9-5a20-84dd-4cd970cb6968","id":1078,"image":null,"name":"Katarina Drapšin","public_name":"Katarina Drapšin","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2025-11-14T12:15:00.000+01:00","end_time":"2025-11-14T12:45:00.000+01:00","room":{"name":"M17.74","id":192}},{"id":1401,"guid":"f20d2ada-e598-40f9-9597-5bbb105153df","title":"The distribution of anaphora in Norwegian ","language":"en","subtitle":"Based on norwegian speakers' own intuitions","description":"My thesis explores the usage of anaphora in Norwegian, where in the third person singular (excluding case and gender) there are four possible options: the personal pronouns “han/ho” and the reflexives “han/ho sjølv”, “seg” and “seg sjølv”. This contrasts with languages like English and German that only have two options, the personal pronouns “he/she” or “er/sie” and the reflexive “him-/herself” or “sich”. In this thesis the term “anaphor” is used about any pronoun that refers back to an antecedent (an NP with the same referent) in the same sentence. I am using Daniel Büring's (2005) principles of binding theory, and specifically his theories about Norwegian, as my reference, and comparing them to Norwegian speakers' own intuitions, as gathered from a survey.\r\n\r\nI had three hypotheses before gathering my data. First, that the data would support Büring's theories. Second, that they would not, or only in part. And third, that there is dialectal variation. Here, of course, the third hypothesis could overlap with the first two.\r\n\r\nThe method I used to gather data was an online questionnaire containing different sentences including an anaphor, where the anaphor varied between the four possible options in 3rd person singular. The participants were asked to rate the sentences on a scale from 1 (not at all acceptable) to 5 (completely acceptable). I additionally asked the participants what county their dialect was from, including options for bidialectals and non-native speakers.\r\n\r\nThe results, from 113 respondents across the country, showed that a lot of the intuitions support Büring's theories of binding in norwegian, but some of the results differ from what one would expect. This is particularly true for the use of the anaphor “seg sjølv”, which seems to be accepted in more positions than expected based on Büring (2005). In terms of dialects, the dialects from western Norway are the ones that stood out from the rest of the country.","duration":1800,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Theoretische Linguistik","abstract":"Presenting the distribution of the four possible 3rd person singular anaphora in Norwegian, as judged by Norwegian speakers, compared to the theories of binding in norwegian by Daniel Büring (2005).","speakers":[{"guid":"e908abda-40df-55ac-80c7-14e630f2e597","id":1173,"image":null,"name":"Nova Hartvedt Olsen","public_name":"Nova Hartvedt Olsen","abstract":"I am a student currently finishing up my bachelors degree in linguistics at the University of Oslo.

Using a dataset of thirty loanwords, elicited from three native Thai speakers in controlled sentence contexts, the analysis combines auditory judgments with acoustic visualization to track tonal assignment. \r\nThe study finds that loanwords generally follow predictable rules: live syllables tend to receive mid tones, dead syllables often carry high tones, and stress placement in English guides tones in polysyllabic words. Nevertheless, variation emerges, principally when English proficiency influences perception, showing that adaptation is not purely rule-governed but also shaped by contact and usage.\r\nThese results not only refine earlier accounts (Gandour 1979, Bickner 1986, Kenstowicz \u0026 Suchato 2006), but also underscore the flexible, creative strategies Thai employs to incorporate foreign words.

If a language employs imperatives, it first does so (typologically speaking) for 2nd person. I want to take my analysis a step further and even state that there is evidence that 2nd person can be an active feature in non-2nd-person configurations; configurations that have been called ``non-canonical imperatives´´ by researchers like Aikhenvald.
